Who on earth does not want to be happy in life? I guess everyone wants to be. All of us want to love and be loved, care for and be cared for, make someone else happy as they too make you happy in return. I am no different!
It was one fine weekend when I was strolling with my little sister along the streets as we headed to a local joint for drinks and snacks to at least soothe ourselves after the long week's job.
I texted my guy, "hi,how's your weekend dear?"
I waited so long for his answer. Be sure that one minute to me seemed like five hours, believe me! Ten minutes down the line, there was still no answer. I started getting anxious and asked m y sister what might have gone wrong.
"He might be with his wife and kids at this time, be patient he'll just get back to you," said my sister in a mocking tone.
Though I pretended to laugh it off, the truth is that I was hurt and I could not bear that.
''Of course, you will choose not to believe it but think about it, this guy never calls on weekends and rarely answers your texts on such days, what can you conclude?" my sister commented.
This time round, I decided to assume that awful and sickly feeling and gaggle my drink though it now seemed tasteless in my mouth.
Sure as the sun rises in the East and sets in the West, there was no answer that day. So I kept my cool.
On monday, he texted me and did not even mention the text.He just asked how my day was and it was business as usual. We planned to meet at a popular joint that evening and as usual, my sister was the chief investigator to help out a sister unearth the truth about her so-called partner.
My boyfriend left his phone on the table a she went to the loo. The phone was unlocked and so my sister decided to go through it. What we discovered in there ripped my heart into tiny pieces. Myriads and myriads of questions ran through my mind.
My sister tried to calm me down and told me to act like nothing had happened as she returned back his phone on the table pretending that she had seen nothing. As if what I had seen did not scar me enough, my boyfriend came back and sat like he was such an innocent soul.
When I confronted him about my findings that he is married, he just said he loved me and didn't seem bothered at all. This seemed so genuine that he even got me confused as to whether he was being truthful or not.
To date, I am still wondering how I dated and loved a married man. That is something I can never forgive myself for. I got the courage to end things but I still do not understand how I was so naive and gullible!
